Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We use a weighted review system which means that the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

ItalyNothing in particular
We choose this property just for one night to get a ferry to santo Antão. It’s close to the port and we walked there in the morning. Sonia is very welcoming and kind, the access to the property was easy even if we arrived late at night. In the morning we also left soon and Sonia prepared for us a take away breakfast! The room was big and clean.

United StatesThe shower area was always full of water even when we did not use it. There seems to be a pipe problem of some kind in the bathroom. Not seeing the water on the floor I slipped and almost fell. The bidet was also closed and out of function.
Quick check-in, friendly owner. The room was very spatious, with seating besides the bed, and a nice balcony (pity the wind was too strong to enjoy it). It is close to many things, but there are also many buses passing by all the time for going further. There is a bakery and an extremely cheap good food restaurant (Bar Atlantic) across the road. There is also a mini market that has most things. The ferry port is 20 minutes on foot, as is the beach (beach practically unusable due to wind, but incredible light and colors). Good wifi in the house. There is a common kitchen.

GermanyThe only downside was the fact that the curtains are not thick enough so in the morning it gets too much light.
It’s really close to the beach and located in the quiet neighbourhood. Maybe 15 mins walking from the city centre, and there is a bus stop right in front of the house. We were able to sleep uninterrupted during the night, but with the windows closed because it was not that hot. I can’t say how is the situation when one needs to have windows open. Also the owners are super nice, friendly and helpful. They let us leave the luggage earlier than the check in, and kept them for us after the check out as our ferry was leaving later, arranged the taxi and were generally kind. The room was very clean and the bed is comfortable.

SpainOur bedroom was quite dark with a window that was closed because it was on the basement and people could see us. We missed some fruit or coffee in the morning even there’s no breakfast available.
The owner is so nice and she is always kindly to help. We could do the check-out after twelve and have a shower with any problem. It has a fan and the bedroom is okay. There’s a bakery nearby and the beach is less than 5’ walk.

United KingdomThis is no fault of the guest house but the entire area around the port is not really for tourists... it's more of a working industrial port, and you will get hassled by hustlers and beggars. Best just to use it as a jumping off point for Sao Antao. That said some people like the area.
Hosts are very friendly and helpful. Room was nice and clean. Close to the port if you are intending to go on to Sao Antao. The port is walkable but to avoid getting hassled by beggars take one of the little buses that depart just across the road from the hotel. The bistro and the bakery, both directly opposite are really cool.
